The American Future: A History

â€œWith eloquence, wit, passion, and irony, The American Future traces the history of an idea: that of our national destinyâ€¦.A book of beautiful writing, peppered with wisecracks, slashed with rapier thrusts.â€ â€”Philadelphia Inquirer
Â
A De Tocqueville for the 21^st century, Simon Schama, NBCC Award winning author ofÂ Rough Crossings offers an essential, historical, long view analysis of the American character in The American Future. Shama examines four themesâ€”war, race and faith, immigration, and custodianship of the landâ€”through the prism of the historic 2008 presidential election in a magnificent work that the Wall Street Journal calls a â€œcelebration of American resiliency.â€Â Niall Ferguson says, â€œI hope Obama will have this book on his bedside table.â€
